,pk I ' 6, t! 2 Alan Marion Vicki Saxon Janet Taylor McCandless Munsinger Business Ed Teaches Skills Worth Learning Tangled fingers and eyeballs on the keyboard were commonly found in beginning typing. This class, offered by the Business Education Department, was very important to those students entering the business world and for those using computers later on in life. Skills such as typing and shorthand are essential for college bound students, for note taking, and the writing of term papers. Any student wishing to attend college is a prime candidate for all Business Ed classes. These basic techni- ques are necessary to obtain a satisfac- tory position in the business world. Other business classes offered by this department were Data Processing, which is the writing of programs in BASIC and Cobol languages, Marketing and Distributing, Accoun- ting, and Cooperative Merchandising. There was something for every student interested in any aspect of business. One class that students found very helpful was School Work Experience. This work program placed students in school offices answering telephones, typing and taking messages as clerical workers. Most students found this op- portunity an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Teachers too, found this helpful to the students in learning how to cope with business life. Subjects offered by this department provide students with skills that can be utilized during their working years ahead. 111 Mr. McCandless watches intently as a 'demonstration against crime is being performed in his frst hour class. 1Photo by L.

J A ffi Ray McKnight Robert Mentzer Ken Paulin Robert Rumpl Making Impressions That Last A Lifetime Industrial Arts isn't just another classg itis an experience. Many of the students who have taken a class in the industrial arts field have come to believe this statement to be true. They have discovered that their classes out in the far regions called the shops, often require a little bit more time than some of their other courses. Areas students could choose from included printing, wood working, machine shop, welding, auto, sheet metal, photography and drafting. Kim Lindsey described her classes by saying Industrial Arts classes require quite a bit of creative energy but I enjoy the class very much. Along with just be- ing fun, the classes also offer many other positive aspects including con- tests that had winnings of prize moneyand awards. Contests! Contests! The never en- ding desire to compete against others and win could be fufilled in competi- tions held against other local schools. The finished projects were judged on quality of craftsmanship and overall appearance. Viewing of the projects was done at the local malls and also at the schools themselves. Career opportunities were available for students who had the desire to con- tinue in a given field. The possibility of accelerating in the field of their choice was great. Students often were able to get a job working with their acquired skills even while taking the course. Trade schools were eagar to welcome new students.
